This shot was taken (Tuesday) which was very much the start of summer with temperatures up to 28C. I had been looking out on Social Media for this years locations of Poppy Fields. It is probably not well known that to farmers poppies are weeds. They are also fairly random. Poppy seeds will usually lie dormant in a field for many years Whether they flower in a particular year depends on many things including the crop grown and the amount of spraying. For this reason a field of poppies is quite rare and will not grow in the same place as a previous year.
The location was adjoining Ditchling Road just north of Brighton and in the South Downs National Park.
The camera used was a Sony A550 with a Sony 10-20mm lens at 10mm. Taken handheld Main processing was first Camera Raw and then Topaz Clarity for more detail.
